1.  Reserve your spot for the June 26, 2005 Salsa Workshop w/Cultural Explosion Dancers offered by DWG!

We have the pleasure of offering a dance workshop by famous Cultural Explosion Instructors/Performers.  They are coming all the way from New Jersey.  Workshop Classes will be as follows:

2:00-3:00 p.m.- Spinning Technique for Men & Women:  A bit wobbly on your spins?  Take this class and double your turning ability, from doubles to triples, quadruples, multiple turns, etc.

3:00-4:00 p.m. - Funky/Cool Partner Work:  Learn how to get in and out of cool spinning combinations and how to perfect the lead and follow. Turn patterns will include hand flicks, locks, and tunnels.

4:00-5:00 p.m. - Intermission/Lunch/Practice: Eat from the lovely buffet ($10-$12)

5:00-6:00 p.m.- Salsa Three-some Dancing:  Hey guys, learn to dance with 2 women at the same time and how to share your partner with a friend!  Ladies learn how to follow this unique salsa dance. This workshop will double the ladies following technique as she has to be twice as sensitive to her lead since she's only getting half a lead when she's sharing the guy with another girl. Lady has to be very alert and sensitive to the lead when she's being passed off from one guy to another.

6:00-7:00 p.m. - Salsa Dips, Hits, Tricks & Freezes:  Learn how to use the music and when and how to dip your partner, when and how to freeze and how to hit the highs and lows in the music: musicality in salsa - some people just dance to the music, learn how to dance in the music!!

7:00  Practice

For more information keep reading our future newsletters and find out location and times for this event.  A performance by Juan and Christina will happen at the Saturday Night Party at Gardel's! To reserve a spot e-mail: Elsybel@dancingwithgrace.com

Workshop Cost:

  • One workshop class $25.00

2.  Tuesday Night Promenade Schedule

Salsa lessons are offered every Tuesday beginning at 7PM at the Promenade Dance Sport Facility on 2605 Lord Baltimore Drive.  For directions and more information click on http://www.dancingwithgrace.com/baltimore_club_reviews.html

One class is $10.00:  Take both lessons and 2nd class is only $5.00 more.

Beginner Level I from 7-8 p.m.:  Beginners Class I: Focusing on 3 main basic steps, the right/left turn patterns, balance, coordination and introduction to the lead and follow.  We try to work on different patterns & also all beginners should take this at least 4 times to work on the lead & follow.

Beginner Level II-III from 8-9 p.m.:  Beginner Combinations that are more difficult practice closings and cross body leads if the class is up to it.

Intermediate Level  I from 7-8 p.m.: Cross body lead w/turns, greater emphasis on how to lead and how to follow and basic technique for intermediate I students.  Many Intermediate II-III students find this class very helpful.  

Intermediate Levels III/Advanced from 8-9 p.m.:  Each week this month we will be teaching a different combination & more difficult technique as well.  You do not need a partner.  Come one come all!

 

3.  Sheena To Teach Basic Salsa at Arcos in Baltimore City on Broadway Every Wednesday Night in May!

Never been to Arcos?  Arcos is a little gem of a restaurant/bar on Broadway St. a few blocks down from Fells Point (plenty of parking). This location is worth a try as it is one of the most beautiful bars Hugo and I have ever seen.  The owner either carved everything by hand himself or had it done; the woodwork is incredible.  Tables & Chairs are so beautiful its hard to sit on them!  At 9:00 every Wednesday Sheena is going to have a basic Salsa Class.  For those of you who want a much smaller class but still some nice classy atmosphere you can try this location out.  Its definitely not a club & has a private patio area (very romantic) where you can eat outside with arches in the view. If you didn't enter this place you would never know it was there.  The appetizers are fabulous; try the nachos and tacos too!  For a classy hour of fun stop by at Arcos.  This location is not meant to compete with the "clubs" but only to cater to the "finer" more "select" members of the salsa community.

Address:  129 South Broadway; 410-522-4777. Look for a big silver Arcos sign on a brick building.

 

4. Thursday Night Basic Bachata & Salsa Dance Lessons at La Palapa starting May 12, 2005.

NO CLASSES MAY 5, 2005

Guys, some of your prayers have been answered.  La Palapa renewed our contract for 6 months.  Either Elsybel, Antonio, Grace, Hugo and/or Sheena will be doing Basic I-II classes from 8-10 p.m. We will be teaching only up to the Basic Cross Body Lead with combinations at this location.  So if you want to brush up on basics and can’t make it on Tuesday or Saturdays this is the perfect place to be.  La Palapa will be charging $8.00 per class.  Elsybel will be available for private basic classes only before the class starts.  If you are interested please e-mail her at Elsybel@dancingwithgrace.com

 

5.   SATURDAY NIGHT SALSA Lessons at Gardel’s a Big Hit!
